Dear
friend of Richmond: :
I
am Jovanka Beckles and I am running for the Richmond
City Council.
Richmond,
the city where I live and work, remains stuck in a past
that does not address the needs of its people. We continue
to have the Bay Area’s worst crime rates, the worst
streets, the worst schools and the worst pollution. We
need better and faster solutions.
The
old powers and the old ways continue to control our city
government.
The
old powers and old ways on the council and in key city
departments, bring us more pollution, deny us open spaces,
fail to prevent the crimes or catch the culprits, do
not offer the needed youth employment programs and after
school opportunities, and hold back every progressive
step attempted on the Council.
What I bring to the Council is my experience,
integrity, solid values, energy and dedication.
Positive
Progressive Change is needed and it is in the air. |
